Accidentally Becoming a Great Prophet?!

Flame Thousand Rivers, Ramsen Armund.
One of the very few superhumans known to be closest to EX-rank among currently active S-rank superhumans.
He is one of the extremely powerful superhumans evaluated as having “straddled the wall”.
Well, if you just look at it this way, you might think he’s half a step short of EX-rank skill… but that’s absolutely not the case.
Straddling the wall is just a rumor, no superhuman remains in such an ambiguous state of straddling the wall.
They’re either blocked in front of a huge wall thought to be insurmountable, or they’ve completely crossed over. It’s one or the other.
However, even so, the strength of having reached the extreme of S-rank is not something to be taken lightly.
It’s lacking compared to EX-rank, but compared to other S-rank level strong ones, he’s at least two or three levels above them as a mighty superhuman.
How could a strong one who is said to heat the world with a thousand rivers of flame flowing at a single gesture be weak?
But even for him with such a great status, the current situation was very awkward.
‘…Damn, I didn’t anticipate this situation…’
Who would have thought we’d meet such strong ones on the way to obtain what I got information for at a high price?
‘Something feels very strange… but for now, except for one who seems like an ordinary person, they’re all S-rank.’
There are some I know, and some I don’t know.
However, what’s important is… not a single one among these S-ranks here is mediocre.
And there are also those who have skills not inferior to my own.
‘The one using a sword. Isn’t that Akame of the Fire Sword, one of the Three Great Sword Saints? I heard she had recovered, but it’s not just recovery level but even surpassing her prime. The sniper holding a gun in the back… judging from the Barrett she’s holding, it must be the Bullet’s Shooter who’s active in the Far East… excluding the outlier Cheonmang, she’s at least in the top three among those specialized in sniping… That fox beastkin is Yeon Dalgi who caused a stir as Korea’s sixth S-rank… was she this skilled? She’s not below me. And Cheongok, the culprit of the summer snowfall incident in Korea back then… indeed, the rumors of her crossing the wall were true.’
The cat beastkin and the clear-eyed madwoman wielding an axe are unguessable, so they must be unknown skilled ones. They’re not even lacking in strength.
‘Among them, those I can guarantee victory against… are two.’
I can take the cat beastkin and the Bullet’s Shooter one-on-one. I’d get injured, but not severely. With those two, even if it’s 2 vs 1, I can win if I’m willing to endure some injuries.
I’m confident I can win against Akame or the axe-wielding girl, and Cheongok too.. I’d suffer quite severe injuries, but…
However, I can’t guarantee victory against that Yeon Dalgi.
Moreover, the current situation is one where I have to face all of these individuals.
‘And on top of that… the most puzzling existence…’
Fire Sword, Bullet’s Shooter, Yeon Dalgi, Cheongok, cat beastkin, axe maniac.
People who seem to have no points of contact at a glance are now gathered in one place.
And at their center is a person who gives off a strange feeling, seemingly no different from an ordinary person with no perceivable power.
‘This strangeness… even if he looks like an ordinary person, I should think he’s not ordinary. In the first place, the very fact that he’s here among such superhumans means he’s not ordinary.’
Perhaps, he’s at least a superhuman above my level… or in an extremely rare possibility, he might be an unidentified transcendent newly born in secret.
‘Just looking at that artifact in the shape of a sphere that he seems to control… it’s not ordinary.’
An artifact from which an incredible energy can be felt. It must be an object of great value. How could a person handling such a thing be an ordinary person!
Well… Ramsen’s thoughts were more or less correct.
In fact, how could a person accurately predict that an amateur fortune-teller with no special power somehow managed to draw in all those people?
Moreover, Dam Hanul had never revealed his identity even though he received guests. He had always maintained secrecy.
There were many people who wanted Dam Hanul to become great, but they respected his wish not to reveal his identity, so it hadn’t been fully exposed. Also, there were many of his acquaintances in Korea who exercised enormous influence.
As such, stories about the superhumans around Dam Hanul didn’t spread properly, surprisingly.
Information spread a bit more in the superhuman industry… but it wasn’t very detailed.
After all, the Korean underworld was theirs anyway.
Because Dam Hanul didn’t really want information to spread, rumors spread as if he were some kind of shadow mastermind, and those friends of Dam Hanul also didn’t want to stand out more than Dam Hanul, so only rumors that really gave off a shadow mastermind vibe spread!
Moreover, as days went by, the rumors kept growing and spreading… it was a terrifying thing. Mainly from Dam Hanul’s perspective…
Of course, from Ramsen’s perspective who didn’t know this, it wasn’t a very important issue.
What was important was that the unidentified group in front of him would obviously become dangerous if antagonized, and it looked like he was about to lose a precious divine medicine.
‘Tsk… and it was information I obtained after paying a price…’
The information about the Ten Thousand Year Fire Carp was obtained through that ‘Witch Queen’ Illia Ferndov, and it was precious information that he could only get the exact location and guide after granting one of the Witch Queen’s requests… but unfortunately, it seemed he would have to give up that precious divine medicine.
‘I wanted to obtain it to prevent my skills from declining as I age more… tsk, I’ll have to look for another divine medicine.’
It wasn’t a good choice to antagonize such an organization.
Rather, it’s much better to cooperate and create a connection.
If I face them here, it’s a dog’s death, and even if I run away from here, I’ll be tracked.
Their influence is not ordinary, so obviously bad things would happen.
One of the reasons Flame Thousand Rivers could reach his current position was not only because his skills and talents were outstanding, but more than that, because his judgment was sharp at crucial moments and he knew when to yield appropriately.
‘They say push aside the capable and send the incapable, but… if someone is too outstanding, you can’t even push them aside. In that case, you should join hands. If you can’t win, shouldn’t you join?’
In the first place, how can I be sure that the force I see now is all they have? Can these be considered the leadership?
Such thoughts spun rapidly in the mind of Ramsen, who was rather cautious, and he could make a decision quickly.
“Alright. There’s no other choice. I’ll give up on the Ten Thousand Year Fire Carp. I’ll cooperate with you.”
“?????”
And Dam Hanul, who didn’t know Flame Thousand Rivers well, couldn’t help but be bewildered.
Because Dam Hanul knew the name value of Flame Thousand Rivers, he thought he wouldn’t back down easily, and thought there might be a clash… but to be resolved this moderately??
‘Um… well, it’s good if it’s resolved easily without needing to fight.’
But still, I really couldn’t imagine that he would give up and offer to cooperate right away after just a moment of contemplation as soon as we met.
Usually, a superhuman of this level would have quite a strong pride…
Probably, ordinary superhumans wouldn’t have been this easy. They might not have fought to the death, but they would have at least shown off their skills…
It could be said to be lucky that the opponent is Flame Thousand Rivers, a superhuman who knows how to bend his pride even though it’s high. Of course, from Flame Thousand Rivers’ perspective.
If he had just charged in, he might have died.
And this current choice was quite a good one.
‘If he’s this cooperative, it feels wrong to just… seeing that he’s trying to obtain the Ten Thousand Year Fire Carp’s inner core, it seems he’s trying to get a divine medicine, so after catching the Ten Thousand Year Fire Carp, I should look for a suitable inner core by doing a fortune-telling.’
Like this, he was able to gain a second chance peacefully without having to use much strength.
“Well, I understand if you don’t easily believe me. So I’ll lead the way. You probably know the approximate location, which is why you’re moving like this… but I have my own guide. It’ll be more comfortable. I guarantee it.”
Saying that, Flame Thousand Rivers grabbed and shook a lantern that was floating in the air.
Inside it, a dark red flame was slowly flickering, indicating the direction to go.
“I don’t know where you got your information from, but I bought mine from a big shot, you see.”
“Uh… thank you? If you’re willing to cooperate that much, it’s good for us too.”
‘I see… you seem to be the leader of this group.’
Flame Thousand Rivers, who had gathered some information in his own way, started walking in the lead as he said he would, once a rough picture of cooperation emerged.
‘People of this caliber wouldn’t kill everyone they meet just to obtain one divine medicine… and there’s no reason to kill when they’re being cooperative. Especially that man who seems to be their leader doesn’t seem like the type to act recklessly.’
Flame Thousand Rivers is a superhuman who has lived for quite a long time. He’s just a bit behind Hwang Min-wook, Korea’s Taesan, in years of experience.
Anyway, thanks to Flame Thousand Rivers making such a wise decision, no unexpected situations occurred, and the grouped party was able to quickly reach the pond where the Ten Thousand Year Fire Carp lives.
“That’s the Ten Thousand Year Fire Carp…”
A beautiful and giant red carp swimming proudly alone in a huge pond where the water is boiling, completely different from the surroundings that are emanating cold air, to the point of being out of place.
Indeed, it looked like a carp with quite amazing power. That’s probably why it had been able to establish its own territory and live well even in this monster’s domain. Well, this is probably some kind of monster that popped up from somewhere too.
Anyway, now that we’ve found the target…
“Alright, let’s go in!!”
Let’s try catching a carp today!!
